Thank You, Mood! Inside Project Runway's One-Stop Fabric Shop

A fresh season of Project Runway is upon us, and Thursday’s episode will feature the contestants’ first field trip to Mood Designer Fabrics. (The season nine opener required them to rework their own pajamas, assisted only by a smattering of Mood-supplied trimmings and dye. It was not pretty.) The reality competition show’s favorite one-stop materials shop, home to 40,000 square feet worth of fabric and a Boston terrier named Swatch, recently got its close-up in The New York Times.
